August Suites ticking all the boxes for my next trip:some questions

[tobeornottobe]

Very close to booking August Suites for my next trip , it ticks all my boxes in that Its cheap 1250 baht a night, has a sofa and a walk in shower . My 1 concern is that it may be a little far away from the action. Is getting too and from Walking Street or LK Metro a breeze?Also is their room service? Whats the pool like and is their food/drink service at the pool?Is there many good bars very close by?I have stayed in the Marriott and the Areca before

Close to Soi 7 & 8 and within easy reach of LK Metro and Walking Street by baht buses - overall good location and tucked away to be quiet. hotel getting tired but at 1250 a night a good price. Nice pool and bar for daytime drinks but again needs attention as deck was lifting and looking tired when I stayed there last year. I would say 2.5 star at best now. If you could get Areca (Evergreen under 2000) or LK Rennaisence for under 1500 baht a night better choice - otherwise go for it

The showers in the bath in the Areca are a deal breaker for me

i just love the service that Kat and Jontimen provide you at the Marriott in the Executive Lounge, all I can say is WORLD CLASS!!! 

[fostraswift]

Location is good, ive stayed there loads of times

I like March hotel (owned by same group) now more

Better aircon unit , the aircon unit in August are not so quite

everything else about the hotel is fantastic

Me too.

Bloody dangerous with high sided tubs and slippy floors.

August Suites is walking distance to Soi's 7 & 8, Central Festival, Made In Thailand Complex beer bars, LK Metro & Soi Honey....though you'll probably wanna catch a Baht bus to Soi 6 & Walking St. 

 

Just be aware that this hotel gets in a lot of large number of Chinese families....you might be inundated with screaming kids at the pool area, also you might have 3-4 families having their room doors open & using the hall-ways as like being in a condo....fucking loud bastards!  I was so pissed off i've never gone back...that was 4 trips ago!

 

BTW, i was one of their regular customers for around 4yrs.

what time of year was that?

​​if you say so... certain times of year they travel a lot more

[ringadingding]

Have you thought about LK Royal Suite or LK Royal Wing? D Apartment is also a good option.

How quiet is August Suites at night? Been considering it for my next trip as I spent most oft time last trip in So I 6, 7 8 and 13's. The hotel I stayed at last trip was too near the soi eight bar with a band playing until around 3am. There were a few nights I would have liked a quiet early night.

Very quiet,even though its in a great central area you wont get unwanted noise.Thats cos its set back a bit from central Pattaya road.I`ve stayed here twice and id recommend it!

Thanks.  Will definitely look at giving it a try next time I'm staying in Pattaya then.

They live 3 hours flight away so anytime there will be a lot.

If its low season will there be less noice? Im going in september .What hotel do you use now? Is April a good option, seems a little far away. Bare in mind I've only ever stayed in Areca, Marriott and PBR location. The stay is another on my radar

[fostraswift]

yes,, 2 minutes walk from second road

quality and price makes up for that IMO

All i can tell you is that the last two visit's to August Suites were in the months of March & August....both times had large numbers of Chinese families that were fucking load throughout my stay.

 

I took my lady to the pool area & 10 kids were going absolute fucking nuts! It was like i was at a fun park...ridiculous! I complained though it fell on deaf ears....they're obviously catering to a NEW kind of customer...''family customers'' 

 

Recently i haven't stayed at a hotel, i've been staying at a guesthouse off Soi Buakhao...much cheaper & quieter though it doesn't have a pool. Why don't you have a look at this http://www.dapartment.com/index.php

 

I wouldn't stay at April...little far from the action though Areca & Marriott are a good choice of hotels, though check out Soi 10...it has heaps of good hotels & it's right in the middle of Patts..

Booked August Suites after reading all good reports on here so it better be good!!. Going on 3rd of July for 7 nights so I will try and give you a report on the place when I get back.

[Musongman]

It's a good property, well located, has parking, pool side is probably the best. Foyer and staff are great, a comfortable feeling all round. One block to Beach Road and transport to WS, across the street is Soi Bua Khao, great food near-by. Highly recommend it.

" Hotel getting tired but at 1250 a night a good price. I would say 2.5 star at best now."

 

I must be missing something here. 1,250 baht good price for a tired 2.5 star ????

 

Do yourself a favor & check out 247 Boutique hotel on booking.com  Great location, great room, good free breakfast, great rooftop pool.

 

Nope, no financial interest in the place, just a great place to stay with NO Chinese.

 

Cheers.....     Mal.

How is thegym in the 247, both Agoda and Wotif don't have any pics?

[Evilfriar]

If you don't like walking a few hundred metres to get a bike, also smaller rooms than April and August, but the best bed I've slept on in Pattaya.

 

Cheers
